Posted: Sat Mar 03, 2012 9:30 Post subject: HOWTO: torrents with TL-WR1043ND dd-wrt (build 23204+)
EDIT: update for build 23204
Prerequisites
An usb hdd partitioned:
/dev/sda1 – ext3 (to share the data)
/dev/sda2 – linux swap (128MB - not used)
/dev/sda3 – ext3 (~1Gb for optware packages)
Note:there is no support for linux swap in the 23204 build, but it's not really needed. It's there only if it will be in the future.
Putty.
SSH enabled on router (from webinterface).
Howto:
Usb settings on Services/USB dd-wrt webinterface:
- all enable
- disk mount point /opt
Samba share settings Services/NAS dd-wrt webinterface:
Enable access for the data partition over network for: /tmp/sda_part1
This should not give the segmentation fault error caused by incompatibilities in the libraries. It will create default config files, wee need this to be edited. Reboot now.
If everything goes well, you will be able to edit the transmission config in putty with: (127.0.0.1 change to 192.168.*.* and set download folder to /tmp/mnt/sda1/torrent. Make sure to set "cache-size-mb": 1 if you only have the default 32Mb RAM )
Thanks for everyone from other posts. Reading those helped me figure these out in a few hours. Hope this will help someone as well. _________________ Hacking, cracking and patching firmwares since 1992.

Transmission-daemon seems to keep crashing and close in a few hours, depending on load.
You can use CRON task to check if it's running, and start it again just in case. _________________ Hacking, cracking and patching firmwares since 1992.

OTher question.THe files from the rar file have extenesion .0 and .1 and the last file has extension .so.Shouldn't all be with .so extension?
no
Anyway after reboot this /jffs/ is emptied. These libraries are needed only during install. _________________ Hacking, cracking and patching firmwares since 1992.

Found out the crashes were occuring because there is not enough memory. A quick fix was to set:
Code:
"cache-size-mb": 1,
in the settings.json.
This was updated in the main post as well. _________________ Hacking, cracking and patching firmwares since 1992.

Can you explain it a little bit easier?How can I write in the config file?And what should i do.When i do the OPKG update it shows error with opkg_conf or something.I need noobish explanation.

There is no easier way than this.
You mentioned a single ext3 partition. If you followed step by step the tutorial, then probably you don't even have the /opt folder mounted as you don't have an sda3 partition. Share the entire parition (sda1) and check it's content on a networked computer... _________________ Hacking, cracking and patching firmwares since 1992.

Actually I partitioned the disk as u said.And when i run OPKG_update it says it doesn't have conf file or sth.Just try to install optware again as you say in the guide and ull see its not working properly.
You can compare what differences you have in both library locations. _________________ Hacking, cracking and patching firmwares since 1992.

that's my bad indeed, the code should be
Code:
cp /lib/libnvram.so /opt/lib/
We want to use the lib folder on the new ext3 partition instead of the readonly from the dd-wrt image... _________________ Hacking, cracking and patching firmwares since 1992.

Users: to tell Transmission where to look, set the TRANSMISSION_WEB_HOME environment variable to the folder where the web interface's index.html is located.
Package Builders: to set a custom default at compile time, #define PACKAGE_DATA_DIR in libtransmission/platform.c or tweak tr_getClutchDir() by hand.
Router's gui isnt working too.Router gui works only without flash drive plugged.
